Question

which geologic feature is most likely to form when oceanic plates collide with continental plates?
○ a shoreline
○ a mid-ocean trench
○ a volcanic mountain range
○ a glacier

Explanation:

• A shoreline is a boundary between land and water, not formed by plate collision.
• A mid - ocean trench is formed by ocean - ocean plate collision.
• When oceanic and continental plates collide, the denser oceanic plate subducts. This subduction zone can lead to volcanic activity and the formation of a volcanic mountain range (e.g., the Andes).
• A glacier is formed by accumulation of snow, not plate tectonics.

Answer:

C. a volcanic mountain range
